Ya Ya Ho

YaYaHo
Ingo Maurer und Team 1984
YaYaHo is a low-voltage lighting system. A complete system consists of 2 special cables with fixings and tensioning units, a transformer, and the lighting elements. YaYaHo can be stretched from wall to wall or mounted on the ceiling with additional rods. The system can be installed at right angles, diagonally, or around corners. The cables are available in lengths of 6, 8, and 10 meters. With additional accessories (Parts) and 9 different lighting elements, YaYaHo can be customized to suit a wide variety of room situations. All lighting elements can be moved horizontally along the cables, and some can also be adjusted in height or swiveled. This allows YaYaHo to be easily adapted to changing lighting requirements with just a few simple adjustments. Ingo Maurer introduced the groundbreaking low-voltage lighting system YaYaHo in 1984. Sophisticated technology and understated aesthetics offer endless possibilities for use in private and public spaces.

Technical data
System voltage 12 V AC Transformer (Part A): Toroidal transformer for 230 volts or 125 volts, output max. 200 watts. The transformer is equipped with a fuse and a thermal cut-out. Wall mounting with a white 3.5 m supply cable, with foot switch and plug, or ceiling mounting and connection with the supplied plastic canopy. Light control only with special dimmers for inductive loads. Cables (Part B): Recommended installation height 230–250 cm, cable length up to 10 meters. With optional accessories, longer distances are also possible.
Dimensions
Installation height 230 - 250 cm. Maximum cable length without additional ceiling fixture: 10 m.
More info
All components are also available individually. To learn more about the different system parts, their applications, and installation, please refer to the detailed installation manual under “Instructions.” Use of LED bulbs: YaYaHo works reliably with LED retrofit bulbs suitable for 12 V AC. However, we recommend using bulbs of the same type and manufacturer whenever possible. You should also avoid operating halogen and LED bulbs together in the same system. In mixed operation—especially when using a dimmer—undesired effects such as flickering may occur. Please also keep in mind that a system with a toroidal transformer (Part A) should reach a minimum load of more than 40 watts (=20%). An underloaded toroidal transformer delivers higher voltage and thus shortens the lifespan of the bulbs.
